Your TIme Machine drive will backup any new content, which includes the new Lion install. However, if you want to do things right and you have the space available; I suggest you partition the drive and clone the internal drive. You may then have to start over as far as backing up stuff via TIme Machine, but since the drive will have ben cloned, it would not be a problem. It is always a good idea to clone your existing drive before upgrades etc. just in the event something goes wrong.
